Earthquake!

Since Wednesday, Hannah and I have been in Western Kentucky spending time with my family. We're staying with my sister and my bro-in-law. Well, last night (or more precisely, early this morning), I woke up feeling the entire trailer shaking. Completely freaked out, I looked out the window to see if it was really windy or something. My first fear was that of a tornado. However, the winds were calm and nothing was really going on outside. Considering I'm not familiar with the part of town I'm in, I went back to sleep assuming I was near a train or something.

This morning, I first asked my sister if she had felt the house shake. No. Later, when her husband got up, I asked him the same. He joked and told me I must either be crazy or imagining things. Only later did I find out through my husband that I experienced an earthquake! Some how, out of 3 adults and 3 children, I was the only one to wake up (much less get scared to death)!

Nothing fell, no one was hurt, just me - a bit scared. ;) Apparently it was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake about 173 miles North of where I'm staying. They say the earthquake was felt over 400 miles away! Wow. I know that something like this is probably no big deal for the Californian, but here in Kentucky - it was a little on the crazy side.
